Discussed the need to rethink how we check-in and check-out band members. It would be a good idea to organize everything by section this year and assign band members 3-digit numbers based on their sections. Number all of their uniforms and garment bags.
1. Woodwinds – 101, 102, 103…,
2. High Brass – 201, 202, 203…,
3. Brass – 301, 302, 303….,
4. Percussion – 401, 402, 403….,
5. Color Guard – 501, 502, 503…..
Robyn and Michelle will get the garment bags soon so we can mend and number them over the summer. ShaeAnn will work on a flowchart for checking in uniforms after games and competitions.
Section leaders will inspect and check their sections to make sure everything is together and numbers match.
One section can be changing while another section is inspected and a third section is checking in their uniforms.
No show shirts this year. We will be using the grey shirts from last year. Can order off the membership website. We need to double check with Lisa on the pricing. Section Leaders can have themes for their sections.
We need to meet as a board once a month. Next meeting will be June 14th at 6pm and July 12th at 6pm. Locations are TBD.
Next Steps:
Terri - follow up with Lisa on financial information
1. Michelle - email Zaxby’s and check with Woodlawn about tents
Carleen - contact Bucky’s BBQ for welcome back dinner and concession prices
Robyn - send email reminder for membership sign up and get football schedule
ShaeAnn - check with Bill Tyler for Chick-fil-a coupons and work on flowchart for uniform check-in
Check with Lisa on T-shirt pricing
Next meeting is Tuesday, June 14, 2016 at 6:00pm, Location TBD
